Day 5✔ 28.31 miles today for a total of 140.9 miles
The sky was beautiful this morning! As Will put it, “It likes like something you do art class.” This was a very welcome site considering the terrain I knew I had to cover today. A 20-mile climb with over 2,000 feet elevation gain. 
But Peter reminded me it isn’t going to be any worse than yesterday…
Normally I read everyone’s inspirational messages on the way to my starting point but this morning I was not able to…we had no cell service through the night or all day in the desert. So I imagined what people would have texted me and hit the road. Some of you wrote me some pretty funny stuff!
Today started slow and steady, as I knew I had a lot of hill to climb. It was a grind but meeting up with the crew every three miles made it much easier. Peter and Will are amazing. They always seem to know exactly what I need at each stop. 🧡
When times got tough I remembered I would tell myself people suffer on a daily basis from the effects of MS, mine will only be temporary. I also reminded myself in a few short hours my family was coming to visit me in Primm, missed my girls!
So after a 20-mile climb I finally hit the down, let’s say it was a amazing, I even ran some sub 8-minute miles!
I have 12ish miles left in the desert, it will be bitter sweet as it is a truly beautiful place. Plus I would have never guessed there was that much elevation change in a desert.
Until tomorrow…I will have company the next couple of days from my husband Dean and brother Thaddeus Bath.
Stay tuned as Tabetha will be filing regular updates about her 204-mile journey. If you want to help support MS click HERE
